Of course, even if we weren't in a particularly slow period at the moment, active systems would usually be below their lifetime averages, since the holiday/bump periods would push those numbers up.
Well, he is using context of Wii's past numbers to say the present looks mediocre, but yeah, it is a bit of an incomplete context.mclem said:

2008,Well this will be interesting.Would DS&PSP combine for 35 million units sold?It would be amazing
Will the Wii&PS3´s sales skyrocket? Why not ?Nintendo is doing a tremendous job and Sony has some tricks up it sleeve being one of them Sony Financial Holdings IPO in order to raise 320 billion yen - selling 34.5% stake-. Trading starts on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Oct. 11 and the proceeds will help Sony CEO Howard Stringer channel funds to its PlayStation unit to reduce dramatically the price of the PS3 once the big guns are ready.

I think what may help nintendo sustain their console past its new toy appeal would be an actual price that reflects the philosophy of having a "mainstream" console. The wii is peanuts in cost compared to making a playstation investment, but its still not what I would consider easily affordable to the consumer.
I think Nintendo's biggest problem is that they have two successful platforms at the moment, yet their 1st-party development capabilities are basically the same as they where 2 years ago. For a decent while as GameCube floundered and GBA was phased out, the lions share of Nintendo's releases/efforts where on DS. Then as Wii began to ramp up the DS schedule seemed to dry up a little.

They don't need to worry about the DS.alske said:

They're still publishing more games more then ever, many of their first party games are still selling well. Third party have the DS covered for this holiday, it will be insane.
BishopLamont said:
I don't think it will really hurt them, they're too strong right now, and Sony's too weak. But I do think that part of the reason that we haven't seen a lot of stuff on Wii is because Nintendo also has to focus on the DS as well, and that leaves third parties. And we all know what a great job they've done so far...

DSL sales dropped (i mean below 100k) maybe due to new color being available on 4th October ?

Moor-Angol said:
That never happened when previous new colors were released, so I really doubt it.
For the regular DS, it dropped ~30% the week before the Pink and Teal versions were released alongside Nintendogs, was pretty much unchanged before the Red release, and dropped by ~20% before the Black release. I think we're too far out for a new color to have an affect in this case, though.

Oh so it did drop? Well in any case like you said it's too early to see such a drop and the DS has been dropping over the past few weeks, so it's no oddity. Still nearly 80k is still spectacular and every unit will be sold during christmas anyway, and then Japan suffers massive shortage and the cycle continues. I think we will see at what level the DS levels out in 2008.

listen to the mad man
A sense of scale for some of these numbers:
80k (DS this week) per week in Japan is 750k per month in the US, adjusting for population.
100k per week in Japan is 945k per month in the US, adjusting for population.
140k per week in Japan is 1.32m per month in the US, adjusting for population.
157k (MC DS average) per week in Japan is 1.48m per month in the US, adjusting for population.
169k (Famitsu DS average) per week in Japan is 1.60m per month in the US, adjusting for population.

The PSP has a pretty sweet lineup this year I see no reason to "choose a side" in the handheld area as both have been pretty rewarding in terms of games.
Castlevania PSP is mine this year!

Well the attitude of these threads have sure changed for this week.
Oh, and btw, now that the PSP is selling well, I just realized it totally rocks.

well if nintendo were to expand to address these problems inhouse (and not by purchasing devs like monolith) where would it be best to focus...east or west? console or handheld?
i would love for nintendo to to create a western development infrastructure similar to what they have in japan in terms of developement capacity and quality...but this thread is about japan :lol
and we should really wait until we start to see some more complete 2008 release lists before we sound the alarms for the wii.

Could be. I used an average function on columns which had text markers for places where it was the first of two combined weeks and assumed it would count those as 0, but if you're right I guess it just ignored them.Rock_Man said:

Photographic proof:
Taken at the Sofmap in Akihabara this evening. Tons of DS Lite, Wii and PSP Slim in stock. Tons more CC FFVII too.
So many Wiis...
It seems pink PSP Slim was popular.

Then Galaxy and Brawl come out, and Japan will die once again.
And you know damn well that there's another Wii DQ game in the works. ><

Yeah, PSP-2000s are freely available in my part of Japan, so considering the demand, and Crisis Core, its sales are likely to be *huge* this week. I've got plenty of friends buying them, and I nearly got one today just because of the newness...
Wii hardware is definitely building up, so it looks like retailers are still ordering the same numbers even though week-to-week demand has slowed. Preparing for Wii Fit? I wonder when we'll get the details of the Japanese launch of Smash, Metroid, and Wii Fit, or if the retailers already have it.

Oh, thanks for the pics. I hope you'll continue to provide us in-store info. For some reason I just love it!

Yeah, they be gone come christmas time. Nintendo's prolly telling stores to just keep stocking whatever they can ship them cuz they'll be all gone.

I know there are arguments to be made like "Halo 3 is this sytem's first Halo." and "X360 is doing much better than Xbox was." to say this comparison is meaningless, but I wondered what Halo 2 did to the original Xbox's sales. Frankly... I'm more confused now than before, because the big bump seems to be for the week before it released.
